Alternative Loan InformationBefore a student applies for an alternative loan, we recommend the student fill out the FAFSA form to determine their eligibility for federal financial aid. If you determine after receiving all federal financial aid that additional funding is needed, alternative loans are a great option. These are credit-based loans. Most alternative loan payments can be deferred while in school. Students may use any lender of their choice for alternative loans.
